| Nice and CURRENT!if you are prep'n for LSAT and tight on cash...save your pennies to put toward the most recent lsat preptest's! I was able to purchase most tests from 28-58 and there is a big difference between older and more current tests, well at least in my opinion! I say if you are testing in 2010 you should really try to purchase 48 forward or at a min. purchase 55 forward. The more preptests you work through the more familiar you get with LSAC's wording, format, and "tricks." NO there are no repeat questions but boy are there sure close copies!! They love to repeat certain subjects and certain argument structures...so well worth your time and money to review this stuff!

| Review from the GMAT perspecitveThere is actually quite a bit of overlap between LSAT and GMAT Verbal section. LSAT of course is harder and more hardcore, which makes it a great source of extra hard (sometimes way too hard) questions. In additionm, GMAC, unlike LSAC does not post/license official questions, and thus LSAT materials become very attractive for GMAT test takers who have exhausted traditional books or are looking for an extra challenge. I appologize to the LSAT takers for tainting this review but I think it will be helpful to many GMAT test takers who are looking to get a higher verbal score.
Pros:
1. Difficulty - Passages are longer and more complex than their GMAT counterparts. At times, questions can be quite difficult and convoluted.
2. Practice - There are about 100 real LSAT RC questions. There are also some exercises developed by Powerscore in the beginning of the book.
3. Discussion - The book does an excellent job at explaining RC and discussing strategies and technique.
4. Product Quality - Although a minor issue, the pages and book cover are of good quality.
Cons:
1. *** WARNING: Intended Use - This book is an LSAT guide. Obviously, there will be some irrelevant topics covered. Reading some sections might actually do harm.
2. Price - At 38 dollars, not cheap cheap.
3. Size - The book is 360 pages long. Granted, a considerable portion of the book should be skipped, but this is a serious investment in time for most people.
4. Style - The book's content is extremely dense! Some days, ten pages felt like an eternity. I swear, sometimes this book emits sleeping gas. I literally fell asleep once or twice while reading. And this is coming from a person who thinks Powerscore CR is a smooth and enjoyable read!
Overall Assessment:
After reading this book, you could expect to be a much more active and aggressive reader. The book will help anticipate shifts in a passage, as well as identify a potential question source. But a 360-page book is asking an awful lot from people who need to invest their limited time and money in other GMAT areas. But if you are particularly weak in RC, and MGMAT RC or Veritas RC books don't cut it for you (and you have extra time), then this is a very powerful guide.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this book - I reply to comments.
